Growing up in poverty, Sunny never expected anything good from life.

    Stacking since a while, i wasn't enjoing it anymore due to overhype and chapters running out. Need help finding where i was. Ice arc part 2 i think, zombie-chan and Sunny are found after the stranding ecc ecc, they disover that the rest of the main party embarked to this sh*tty ice *ssh*l* of a place, all good all gucci, then things start to explode? Like a reactor getting attacked or something like that?

    If Sunny's main body is killed by his 7 avatars will his shadow go to the shadow god realm or into the core of his soul?I suddenly thought maybe Sunny had nothing to do with Shadow at all. In his first nightmare it was written that his aspect was a [temple slave] that's because he was a temple slave. So what if his true aspect was [Slave]? Just like fate links everything, Sunny can be connected to everything. Maybe when Shadow God awakens he is bound by Shadow, that's why when something is related to Shadow the nightmare spell hates him but when it comes to Weaver the spell is happy because the aspect of Sunny that is actually a [Slave]? Maybe his true name "Lost From Light" isn't Shadow. Light always guides people to it like fate, can't light mean fate? Lost From Light = free yourself from fate. That's why he is always associated with Weaver and his first attribute is [fate], because the [fate] attribute is completely unrelated to Shadow. Maybe Shadow only attached himself to Sunny

      That is proof of how good of a character Cassie is. She wasn't written to be liked by the audience or written as a cr*ppy villain to be rooted against. She's just a character with strong personal beliefs and her own motives, while also being given agency to act on them, even when it puts the MC's own plans in jeopardy. She's a really controversial character in the best possible way.

    i just cought i up and all i can say is that this is actual peak my only problem is that i dont really like niphises character she just feels kinda bland tbh and her character in general just isnt likeable to me in my opinion but the rest of the novel is super good the mystery the world building the humor the rest of the characters are well written and the plot is super good aswel some parts can drag on for a while but apart from that there arent really any problems for me

      I actually like Nephis because she starts out so bland. We see a ton of character development in her personality the further the story goes on. I find this to be fun and satisfying. The blandness also suits her character as the pain from her flaw burns away her emotions.

        I don't think Nephis really had much character development, since the beginning her goals have been the same and everything she does is for said goals. She learned a little bit about deception through Sunny but not that much. I hope you can prove me wrong tho

        read ch350. Also Nephis is more connected to humanity as compared to before where she felt alienated

        Yeah no. She regretted her ruthless decisions in forgotten shore and changed. Change being if she had to make choices that go against her morals again, then she won't do that. She is compromising to be a better person. It is around chapter 350, end of forgotten shore.

    This latest chapter still points towards my theory of his main body having to die, and likely by his own hands. To become Supreme you have to defy an authority or law at some level. What would be a better law to defy than one that encompasses all living beings: That death is the end. By his main body dying he would no longer be human but a shadow, which would also explain future Sunny in ToA. Also having 8 bodies is weird and he should only have 7

      But what if in dying he becomes one of the shadows like the cursed creature that anvil killed? I feel like that's the path

        If he kills himself his main body would be in his soul sea while he still has 7 avatars

      I really like this theory. Abandoning his human body and becoming a shadow is indeed worthy of supremacy. (Although I don't think its going to happen)

      How is losing his main body a power up? Supremacy should be an upgrade. If we are taking the defying death instead of defying fate route, than I think that instead of losing his body, just refusing to die would be the best possibility. Like just refusing to die even if one should be dead is extrem defiance. Just like in the colosseum when he was escaping, he refused to die so many times(cut his neck, lost his heart) and he already know what it is to die as well (when he captured nightmare, slowing the colossus) imo sunny already has an enormous amount experience in the domain of death to not use it.

        This is exactly the way bro 💀 If he is struggling not to die every that much in his life doing it again is not much of a defience. And coming close to dying ≠ actually dying. Sunny never died.

      What about when he inevitably loses one in Ariel's Tomb? Then you'll be off your lucky number and he'd only have 6

      • FatherPeo 2

        where did it say he lost one in the tomb of Ariel? I thought that guy was just waiting for Sunny to lose his fate so he could get it back

        It refers to itself as a "Lost Shadow", its a shadow that was left behind and never returned to Sunny, the reason it said it wasn't human is because the shadow incarnations technically aren't human or alive either.

    So, Sunny will probably end up defying some god's will, right? The most obvious choice would be defying Death. Now, hear me out, what if Sunny actually dies fighting a Supreme because he's fighting alone (maybe Neph fights Anvil with Cassie, she's been suspiciously quiet) or by sacrifice. Either way Sunny is going to die. They will somehow end up defeating Anvil and Nephis gains Supremacy. Mordret will have a reason to hate them (because they stole his kill) and thus, has a valid reason to maintain his status as an antagonist. Now Sunny will have to fight his way out of the Shadow Realm, so he either finds the splintered part or climbs the abyss that leads to the Underworld and up into the Dream realm, thus breaking the absolute law that is death. So far so good (?). Now we will basically have a huge time skip on our hands, which is fine trust.We'll surely get the important details of Neph's uprise and most importantly an absolutely succulent, mouth-watering, glaze-worthy comeback 🙏🏻

      I agree with you on this since G3 wants to finish this novel by 3000 chapters, making Sunny die and making time skip seems to be the easiest way to skip chapters

    I WAS RIGHT I WAS SO RIGHT! Sunny needs to defy something to become Supreme right? He did break his fate but is he really doing anything he would not if he still had it? THE WAY HE MUST BECOME SUPREME IS BY MARRYING SAINT THIS IS SAINT SUPREMACY THEORY THIS IS HOW HE WILL BE TRULY FREE!!! (grasping every straw I can to hold onto Saint X Sunny rn)
